Laboratory Activity 1
Bottled Ballons
Objectives:
• To create a model of a lungs;
• To trace the path air from the nose to the alveoli.
Materials:
• Balloons (Big – 1 & Small – 2) • Scissor
• Plastic Bottle (Transparent) • Glue gun w/stick
• Scotch tape & Elastic Band • Straw
Procedure:
1. Carefully cut your bottle to about half the size.
2. Tie a knot in one end of one balloon and cut off the end.
3. Stretch the balloon around the bottom of your plastic bottle.
4. Put a straw in the neck of the other balloon and secure tightly with the glue stick but not so much
that you crush the straw. The air must flow through, so test it with a little blow through the straw to
see if the balloon inflates.
5. Put the straw and the balloon into the neck of the bottle and secure with the scotch tape/glue stick
to make a seal around the bottle – make sure that again, you don’t crush the straw.
